Be aware that with this coupon, they use the price in the first column, rather than the second column. Without the coupon, they would normally charge the price in the second column.
I misunderstood how the discount was being applied and through it was from their regular price. I planned my order in a spreadsheet, including the discounts and everything. Then when I was in the process of placing my order, I found that my numbers didn't match theirs. Every discounted item was just a little bit higher than I had in my spreadsheet. After screwing around with some numbers for a bit, I found that their prices looked like they were only discounted by 33.3%. Then a little bit later, I discovered that their numbers were right for 40% off the first column. For a little bit there, I was thinking they were somehow thinking they could rip people off without anyone noticing. Instead, it was just that I didn't read the wording of the discount closely enough.
So again, just be aware of this, especially if you try to prepare your order ahead of time, like I did.
